Combat Arms have been overstaffed with Officers for years. Though it’s to be expected. As most “Recruitment Too-“ I mean Movies and Games involving the Military are revolving around the Combat MOS.
While the MOS that are frankly just as critical for sustained Combat Operations have been shortchanged. Signal Corps, Logistics, Finance etc.
Can’t fight a War if your Army can’t talk to each other, get food or ammo, and isn’t being paid.
Combat Arms is where OFFICERS GO TO GET AHEAD IN RANK...that is all!!!! They are there for the medals...NOTE: I have a RETIRED MAJOR w/PURPLE HEART who served in 1st Gulf War...His JOB...ARTILLERY OFFICER...HIS AWARD---BRONZE STAR (NEVER SAW COMBAT)...
NOTE: A US MARINE (RO) RADIO OPERATOR-3 TOURS KHE SANH, VIETNAM got so upset that officers who were not in the fight getting bronze stars AND HIS PLATOON COMMANDER SAID DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID...
'NOUGH SAID...and if ANYONE HAS THEIR TENDIES IN TWIST...SO BE IT!!!!!!!
“We need more bureaucrats not soldiers”
Said no General ever.

The trannies have topped out, and need more room for promotion opportunities before O'Biden's gone.
This, after none of the Branches have met their recruiting quotas in years.
Just when I thought it couldn't get more clownish, [they] prove me wrong.
Me thinks the woke generals were planning on a much higher frequency of kinetic operations around this time. Too bad for them peace is prevailing.
They’re asking them to transfer into Roles just as critical for Sustained Combat operations.Being Logistics, Signal Corps, Air Defense Units etc.
Trust me when I say there are enough fat bodies in combat arms that need to go elsewhere. They just need to do it by PT scores.
